A Reason for Being Life English Version

Nine

The sun is scorching over the head. Almost every face hides itself from its fascination. Vehicles protruding on the highway. Making noises that are commonplace to hear. The legs of a student are still moved to go to school even with the weather and atmosphere like that. I'm no exception. Those who go to school by public transportation. Because I was too young to be given a private vehicle by my parents. Actually that day I was really scared to go to school, but I think if I avoid Simon today, then it is possible that Simon will talk to me tomorrow. So let me face him today. My intention is fixed, I will reject it, but will not break his heart. I have compiled the vocabulary of what I will say to answer it later.

"Assalamualaikum". I say hello to everyone in the class. Seeing me coming Simon immediately approached me at my desk.

"Waalaikumussalam. Hi Aini, do you still remember what I said earlier? After school, I have something to talk to you about." I looked at Simon who was talking to me with a straight face and tried to smile and nod.

"Cieeeeee" My classmate was screaming at us which seemed to invite the attention of the class.

"Yes, you remember, it's not good to be watched by one class, later they think it's weird again. You should just sit in your chair, Simon." Simon immediately returned to his chair.

"Aini, how can you not be sensitive to Simon's feelings for you." Verina who saw Simon leave she immediately returned to her seat.

"Shut up Verina! ". I answered curtly.

"Lesson hours have ended, all students are expected to return to their respective homes, see you tomorrow with a new spirit of learning, See you." Automatic sound when the doorbell rings.

Hearing the bell suddenly my heart wanted to release, after praying and shaking hands with the teacher, I reflexively ran out of the classroom, because I was very afraid if Simon would say something to me, I really didn't want Simon to say it, I ran quickly out of the classroom, down the stairs and ran out the gate, I thought I was safe but when I turned around, Simon was behind me -_-.

"Aini!!"

"Hah... Simon!!"

"What is wrong with you? In such a hurry? It's like being chased by Satan."

"Hahaha, how come I really want to go home quickly, I have work to do." I'm nervous about talking to Simon.

"Oh, but there's something I want to tell you. what if I anther? So we can talk on the street."

"Sorry Simon, I can't Mama if there is a boy who takes me home, especially if Papa finds out, I'm dead Simon."

"Alright." Simon walked away from me at his brisk pace. I was silent watching Simon go, honestly my heart really couldn't bear to see Simon like that, should I try to get rid of my trauma and try to start a relationship with Simon? But do I like Simon? With my pain when I saw him hurt, maybe it was love, after all he was good to me, it seemed he had no intention of taking advantage of me.

***

At home I still think about Simon who seemed very offended by what I said earlier, so I took the initiative to apologize to him, I immediately sent a message.
